Reporting under the influence?

guardianThe Summer Pubs booklet distributed with the paper on 13 June contained some errors. The entry for The Bell Inn at Castle Hedingham (page 59) said that Mighty Oak beers are brewed in Mauldon, when Maldon, in Essex, was meant. The pub also sells Mauldon beers, brewed in Suffolk. The Old White Hart in Lyddington is in Rutland, not Leicestershire (page 58). We said the Swan on the Green, West Peckham, Kent (page 29) was built in 1586 and added that this was 17th year of Henry VIII’s reign. We were wrong on both counts: the king died in 1547 and the pub was built in 1526. We moved the Ty Coch Inn, Porth Dinllaen, Gwynedd, Wales, several miles south: it is in Caernarfon Bay, not Cardigan Bay as we said (page 22). Link

    Up til 1997, Rutland was a part of Leicestershire, so at least the Graun hasn't quite transplanted a village to another part of the country – I come from the area, and even I sometimes say Leicestershire when I ought to say Rutland. That correction makes me feel awfully thirsty for a pint.
